Thermogravimetric Analysis of Solid Biofuels with Additive under Air Atmosphere

Thermogravimetric and kinetic analysis of the decomposition of Solid Recovered Fuel from municipal solid waste

Thermogravimetric analysis of waxes.

Differential thermal analysis and calorimetric analysis of commercial and dental waxes have been reported in the dental literature."2 Thermogravimetric analysis is described in most textbooks on thermal analysis3-5 and is essentially a method of measuring the weight of a sample as a function of temperature or as a function of time at a fixed temperature. The purpose of this study was to examine...

Application of Thermogravimetric Analysis to the Evaluation of Aminated Solid Sorbents for Co2 Capture

In this work a series of solid sorbents were synthesized by immobilizing liquid amines on the surface of a mesoporous alumina. The samples were chemically characterized and BET surface areas calculated from the N2 adsorption isotherms at 77 K. The CO2 capture performance of the sorbents and their thermal stability was studied by thermogravimetric methods. The effect of amine loading on the CO2 ...

Nonisothermal Thermogravimetric Analysis of Thai Lignite with High CaO Content

Thermal behaviors and combustion kinetics of Thai lignite with different SO₃-free CaO contents were investigated. Nonisothermal thermogravimetric method was carried out under oxygen environment at heating rates of 10, 30, and 50°C min⁻¹ from ambient up to 1300°C. Flynn-Wall-Ozawa (FWO) and Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS) methods were adopted to estimate the apparent activation energy (E) for the...

Determination of Coal Rank by Thermogravimetric Analysis

INTRODUCTION The thermogravimetric analysis patterns of coals and their residues reveal subtle differences between coals and changes which occur during the processing. It is the purpose of this paper to call attention to some of the various processes occurring during the TG analysis, and to show how these patterns can be interpreted in terms of changes or differences in coal structure. It is al...
